I am back. Stronger.

I am back. A bit stronger. A little bit smarter.

It has been almost two years since my last post here on Medium.

A lot of things had happened. I went to hell and then back. And then again.

Doing business with the wrong people for the wrong reasons, is not the best idea. The refreshing thought here is that I also was “bad”.

As a countermeasure for the last two years, I focused on myself. I’ve built a bigger chest. I read a lot of self-development books. Just to be able to understand more about what happened.

In the meantime, I’ve built my financials. With slightly over $300k accumulated, I bought a house. I also started investing in startups (yeah, I am small investor now), which I always wanted to do.

Yeah, if you have no idea what to do — accumulate money. This is always a good idea.

And I fixed my closest relations. This brings joy in life.

I needed to focus on myself, as I was a sick people-pleaser. This attribute almost caused a disaster.

Two years ago, I had this unshakable feeling that my life was over. Done, finished. Fortunately, I was wrong.

It is so relieving when you stop trying to save the world and issues of people around you. When you suddenly don’t give a shit…
